M. C. Srivas commented on HBASE-4087: ------------------------------------- +1 for the stuff about clearing the stale connection inside the HConnectionManager. Whether we should retry only once, or in a loop until we get a good connection ... I will defer to Stack. > HBaseAdmin should perform validation of connection it holds > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-4087 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4087 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Ted Yu > Assignee: Ted Yu > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 0.92.0 > > Attachments: 4087-v2.txt, 4087-v3.txt, 4087.txt > > > Through HBASE-3777, HConnectionManager reuses the connection to HBase servers. > One challenge, discovered in troubleshooting HBASE-4052, is how we invalidate > connection(s) to server which gets restarted. > There're at least two ways. > 1. HConnectionManager utilizes background thread(s) to periodically perform > validation of connections in HBASE_INSTANCES and remove stale connection(s). > 2. Allow HBaseClient (including HBaseAdmin) to provide feedback to > HConnectionManager. > The solution can be a combination of both of the above. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
